Although Crop Production Loans May Start By March Ist Maximum Limit To Individual Borrower Will Be $300; Restrictions on Acreage Announced; Aggregate! Loans on Any One Farm Held to $1,200 \ Disbursement of crop production loans will begin about March 1, ac- . cording to announcement in Wash ington by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde- Secretary Hyde announced that S3OO Will be the maximum loan to any farmer from the $90,000,000 fund set, aside by Congress for crop production financing. In. addition to reduc’ng the maxi mum from S4OO in 1932, Hyde issued regulations providing that farmers who are delinquent in repayment of two or more prior loans will be limit ed to SIOO in order to conserve the fund from which nearly one million farmers are expected to seek assis tance. The loan will be a first lien on the crop produced. ‘ Congress authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to require acreage re duction up to 30 per cent as a loan condition, and Hyde said this will be enforced except., in the case of minor producers and growers of perennials. Orchard-ists wlll not be required to. cut down their trees or other wise re duce their producing capacity to qual ify for aid. Shortly before Hyde's announcement Don McVay. chief of the crop produc tion loan office, made a vigorous de nial before the House Expenditures Committee that government employs in his division had engaged in un usual political activities. In Hydes announcement, he said the 'acreage reduction requirement wMI not apply to farmers who intend planting no more than 8 acres of cot ton, 2 1-2 acres of tobacco, 40 acres of wheat, 20 acres of corn, 2 1-2 acres of truck crops, 12 acres of sugar beet 3, 8 acres of potatoes, 30 acres of rice, or 8 acres of peanuts. The aggregate loans for tenants of an individual land owner will be limited to $1,200, compared with sl,- 600 in 1032. When more than $64,000,- 000 was loaned to 507,632 farmers, an average of $126. Interest will be a( the rate of 5 1-2 per cent, the same as last year, with the obligation due next October 31. In counties where fertilizers are not commonly used, the rate of bor rowings must not exceed $3 an acre for general field crops and sl2 on acre for truck crops, 'including po tatoes. In counties where fertilizer is required, the rate for general field crops will be $6, with $lO in the case of tobacco, and S2O an acre for truck crops- Special provision is made for ad ditional loans, within the S3OO max imum-, for financing the purchase of materials for spraying and dusting crops, to protect against insects and diseases, payment of water charges in irrigated districts, and costs of hand labor in the case of sugar beets, sugar cane, hops and rice. Loans up to $2.50 an acre will be available for summer following. Borrowers will be required t 0 agree to plant a garden for home use, and to grow a sufficient acreage of feed crops to supply their livestock. A total of $1,000,000 of the appropriation has been set aside for feed loans for livestock in drouth or storm-stricken areas. Hyde said that loans will be made FOX HEARING SET FOR FEBRUARY 24 Sheriff J. E. Hamlett was in receipt of a wire today from Governor J. C- B. Ehringhaus, stating that the date for a hearing for Ben Fox, wanted here In connection with a tire rob bery, had been, set, and the hearing will be held on February 24. Extradition papers have already been sent the Virginia officials for his return here, but Fox chose to fight the proceedings. A representative from Henderson will attend the hearing, and Sheriff Hamlett will probably go himself. Utspafrl? Andrew J.
